General Hawley arrived in New York on Monday, from Europe, where he has been the past eight weeks. A New York Herald reporter interviewed the general, who said his visit abroad had been one of the most delightful periods of his life. He saw MT. Blaine, and thought he was in good health and spirits. In his opinion the presidential nominee would be either Blaine or Sherman. He thought home rule would eventually come to Ireland.

addi.ional results OF tho earthquake
have been developed in this immediate
vicinity. Albuquerque seems to have
been os the extreme northeast extremity
: OF the wave, which had nearly spent its
fegce before reaching here. The shocks
ut eabipsl, about forty miles south OF
Albuquerque, were much more severe
than here. Two tremprs were felt, both
IN q north west aud southeast direction,
the first producing slight oscillation,
then came pause of nearly minute
during which Ne ominous something
in the atmosphere caused sensation of
suffocaton. This was broken by terri.
BILE vibration which created the utmost
CONSERVATION among the inhabitants.
Men, woven and children rushed precipi-
lately into the streets, in numerous cases
only in time to escape with their lives
from tottering buildings.
Sabinal is one of the ancient relics OF
New Mexican antiquity, and the adobe
dwellings OF tie natives were SO weakened
by age as to fall an easy prey to the
earthquake. A number OF them were
ieveled to the GROUND, and the damage,
although not great in value OF buildings
and household goods destroyed, will
prove serious loss to the poor families,
whose houses were ruined. The Board
of County Commissioners were in session
at the time Of the occurrence. They
dido't take time to go out the doors but
went out the windows. Sheriff Bussell
WAS one Of the few who started out OF
the door bat was so affected by the shock
that he required assistance or he would
have fallen.

The Mixes of fhn Shah.

But one form of diversion is forbidden
the royal Ladies'; 1 refer to their inter
views with the court physicians. Next
to the sacred luxury of confidential
talk with father confessor of favored
pastor, there is scarce any solace which
possesses such attractions for the average
woman as a sympathetic recital of her
troubles and ailments to trusted family
physician. But neither one nor the other
is allowed to see the wives of the shah.
No priest nor doctor can receive from
them the soothing confession of sorrows
and sins or the narrative of aches and
pains.
OF course if she is i'll then wife of the
shah receives medical attention. But the
physician may not obtain even a sight of
her face. Behind a curtain, surrounded
by her attendants, she responds to his
questions; in extreme need she may show
her tongue, but no other part of her
features. Nor is the interview altogether
attractive to the physician, especially if
he be a native, for he must necessarily
be extremely guarded in his language,
and if the patient dies it may go hard
with the doctor. He does not venture to
prepare or furnish the drugs himself, and
the medicines he prescribes must be COM
pounded by servants of the palace, to in
sure against danger of poisoning, as well
~ to protect the practitioner from sus-
picion.
The European physicians practicing at
the court of the shah exercise somewhat
greater liberty in the matter of drugs and
prescriptions, but even they are obliged
to proceed with great caution, and never
attempt any serious surgical operations
when the patient is a Mussulman.

According to the code of Abelard the
convent was divided into six functions,
all alike subject to the direction Of the
abbess. The sacristan was responsible
for the convent treasury; she kept the
KEYS and had the care of the church
plate and sacred vessels; and it was her
duty to set the virgin sisters to prepare
the waters for the host, which must not
be made by widow The chantress
taught singing and reading, had care of
the choir AMI of the library. to which
she was expected to add by copying and
Illuminating manuscripts. The head Of
the iniirmary had charge of the sick.
Another S5ter was mistress of the
wardrobe and responsible not only for all
the spinning, weaving and sewing neces-
sary for the event, but also for the tan
ming and cobbling. The cellarer had in
her charge the wines for the altar and the
sick. the provisions of the table and the
management of whatever the convent
possessed in orchards and garden land,
fOcks and herds and hives, trout streams
and mills Lastly, the doorkeeper, who
was especially chosen for courteous man
ners, Judgment and trustworthiness, was
responsible for the keeping of the gate,
the entertainment of guests and the dis
tribution of hospitality.
Life in the convent was not hard, but
monotonous, eventless beyond description

the break of day. In summer, when
lauds were early, the sisters slept again
till prime. At prime they left the dormi-
tory, having first washed their hands,
and taking their books, repaired to the
cloi5ter to read and sing until the office
should begin.
Service over, they all assembled in the
chapter house, where a lesson out of the
Martyrology was read to them and ex-
pounded. On leaving the chapter each
nun was sent to fulfill her allotted task
singing or sewing, nursing or baking
until the hour of fierce, when mass was
said. They then resumed their work till
noon, the sixth hour, which was the con-
vent dinner time, except ON fast days,
when it was postponed till nones, or in
Lent, when nothing was eaten till after
vespers at 4.
The convent fare was simple and spare,
save for the sick. No wine, stale bread
of coarse flour. roots and greens and, at
discretion of the abbess, a portion of I'M
favored meat on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Sundays. From the autumn equinox
till Easter, ON account of the shortness of
the days, this one meal was considered
sufficient for all save the infirm.-Fort-
